USDA Organic: In 2000, after a 10-year development process,
the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) rolled out its rules covering
use of the word "organic" on foods. The USDA accredits independent
certifiers, who then check the claims of producers. The system has three
levels:

"Organic": Contains 95% organic ingredients, with the balance
coming from ingredients on the approved National List. These products
can also display the USDA organic logo and/or the certifier's logo.

"Made with Organic Ingredients": Must be made with at least
70% organic ingredients, three of which must be listed on the package,
and the balance must be on the National List. These products may display
the certifier's logo but not the USDA organic logo.
